Will there be an A360 and A370?

No, there are no current or confirmed plans for an Airbus A360 or A370, despite online speculation; Airbus has officially dismissed these rumors, focusing instead on improving existing platforms like the A321XLR and A350, and future concepts like hydrogen-powered jets, leaving the A360/A370 as hypothetical "what-ifs" for enthusiasts. The numbers were likely skipped for the A380 (perhaps for lucky "8" in China) or simply left open, with Airbus prioritizing new technology rather than filling that specific gap with a new clean-sheet design right now.

Will Airbus make an A370?

Despite speculation in forums and blogs, Airbus is not designing an aircraft called the “A360.” Company officials have repeatedly dismissed rumors of an A360 or A370, with a 2018 spokesperson confirming there are no active programs under those names.

Will Airbus ever make an A360?

Airbus A360: Rumors, Speculation, And The Missing Jet

A few conspiracy-minded enthusiasts claim leaked sketches or internal references exist, hidden from public view. But as of 2025, Airbus has never officially announced, confirmed, or even hinted at a program called the A360. It remains purely speculative.

Is the Airbus A370 real?

Airbus skipped from the A350 to the A380 in its naming scheme, presumably leaving room for future A360 and A370 aircraft to take shape. However, nothing concrete has materialized. It's also been rumored that they chose the number 8 because of its significance with luck for the Chinese market.

Will the Airbus A390 exist?

Airbus has not built the A390, though it was a conceptual design in the early 2000s. The A390 was a proposed aircraft that would have been based on the A380, but with a third deck, six Rolls-Royce engines, and luxury features.

Why Did Airbus Skip The A360 And A370 Names?

Will MH370 mystery ever be solved?

In the conclusions of the report presented in 2018 following the international investigation, Malaysian authorities concluded that it is “not possible to determine with certainty” the cause of the disappearance of MH370.

Is the 797 coming?

The Boeing 797 (also known as the New Midsize Airplane or NMA) is currently in a paused, concept phase, with Boeing indicating a new design will eventually be built in Seattle, but a firm launch is uncertain, possibly delayed until the late 2020s or 2030s, as Boeing re-evaluates technology and market needs after pausing the original 2015 concept. It's intended to fill the gap between the 737 MAX and 787, replacing the 757/767 with a more efficient, mid-range aircraft, but decisions on design (single-aisle vs. twin-aisle) and propulsion are pending.
 

Is A390 bigger than A380?

The A390 is still a secret. It's designed to be even bigger than the A380, and will be a triple decker with 6 powerful engines. It will be 300 feet long, with a 332 foot wingspan.

What is the rarest Airbus?

The World's Rarest Aircraft – Airbus Beluga Meet the world's rarest aircraft – the Airbus Beluga! Designed for transporting oversized cargo, this engineering marvel combines power, precision, and innovation. With its massive capacity and unique design, it redefines air logistics and efficiency.

Will the 777X be bigger than the A380?

The A380 is bigger in all dimensions than the 777X and has a higher MTOW and capacity. While the 777X is slightly longer than a 747–8 it has a smaller capacity and MTOW. When the now limited production run of the 747–8 and 747–8f planes end the 777X will be Boeing's largest plane in production.

Was MH370 a Boeing 777?

Flight MH370, a Boeing 777, disappeared in 2014 while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and sparked the largest search in aviation history.

Could MH370 have landed?

The upshot is that there are plausible places that MH370 could have landed in Kazakhstan, but we don't really know where, and my suspicion is that if it did go north it was probably quickly refueled and then took off for a more secure location. Deep Dive: MH370 is a reader-supported publication.

What is the oldest A380 still flying?

The world's oldest Airbus A380 still flying belongs to Emirates. Registered A6-EDF, it was built in 2006, entered service in 2009, and turns 20 years old this February. Despite the A380 program ending in 2019, 150+ A380s are still active worldwide today.

Why do pilots prefer Boeing or Airbus?

Pilots prefer Boeing or Airbus based on philosophy: Boeing offers more direct, hands-on control with a traditional yoke, appealing to those who like more manual input (like a sports car), while Airbus emphasizes automation with a side-stick and flight envelope protection, reducing workload but limiting pilot override (more like a modern automatic car), with preferences often coming down to training, comfort, and feel. 

Can a plane fly at 43,000 feet?

Yes, many modern commercial airplanes, especially wide-bodies like the Boeing 787, Airbus A350, Airbus A380, and Boeing 747-8, are certified to fly at or around 43,000 feet (FL430), often for better fuel efficiency or to fly above weather, though typical cruising altitudes are lower (35,000-40,000 ft). This altitude is near the aircraft's service ceiling, where air density is very low, demanding peak performance from engines and pressurization systems, but it's a standard operating height for lighter, capable aircraft. 

Why is the 747 no longer popular?

The Boeing 747 isn't entirely gone, but major airlines phased it out due to rising fuel costs, increased efficiency of modern twin-engine jets (like the 777, 787, A350), and shifts in travel patterns towards point-to-point flights, making the large four-engine jumbo less economical for passenger routes, though it remains popular in cargo operations.
 

Is the C5 bigger than the A380?

No, the Airbus A380 is generally bigger overall (wingspan, height, fuselage width, weight), but the C-5 Galaxy is slightly longer, making it the longest aircraft of the two, though the A380's massive wings and double-deck fuselage give it a larger overall presence and capacity for passengers, while the C-5 excels at hauling outsized military cargo. 

Will F-47 ever be built?

Yes, the F-47 (Next Generation Air Dominance or NGAD) fighter is actively being built, with the U.S. Air Force announcing in late 2025 that the first prototype is in manufacturing, targeting a first flight in 2028, as part of a major program to replace the F-22 Raptor and ensure future air dominance. Boeing won the contract in March 2025, and the rapid production start indicates an aggressive timeline to bring this sixth-generation stealth fighter online.
